Eight Battles Penn, Sailors On Schuylkill

The third time never fails, they say.

With this thought in mind 20 determined crewmen entrain at 8:30 a.m. today for Philadelphia where the varsity and junior varsity eights race Penn and Navy over the 2000 meter downstream course on the Schuylkill at 4 p.m. tomorrow. The varsity will be trying to win the Adams Cup for the tenth consecutive time.

For the first time in years the Crimson varsity will be an underdog. It has a record of no victories and two defeats the first time a Harvard crew has lost twice in one season since Tom Bolles took over coaching in 1937. Its first loss, to Cambridge on April 19, was not unexpected, as the English crew was at peak form, while Harvard had just begun its season. Last Saturday's loss to Princeton was an upset, however, and the hopes of the Bolles-coached eight look especially bleak this Saturday as Penn has been the only crew to defeat the Tigers.

Anderson Replaces Herberg

Harvard's practices have shown improvement in the last couple of days after a poor showing earlier in the week. Ted Anderson will move up from the Jayvees to take over the varsity number five oar in place of Steve Hedberg, who has to stay in Cambridge to take Medical School entrance exams tomorrow. Al Rieselbach will replace Anderson in the second boat. Warren Clark moves back into the varsity coxswain's position, with Al Lefkowitz coxing the junior varsity.

Penn's crew, racing on its home course, will be the favored eight on the strength of its Princeton victory. The Schuylkill has a very fast current, and the course is short, with a sharp bend in the middle.

Last year at Annapolis the Crimson came from a length and a half behind to nip the Quakers by two seconds and retain the Cup. Navy, too, has lost to the Tigers, and also to Cornell and Columbia.

Bolles says that his varsity is still a potentially good crew, and if it rows as well as in practice it will be a tough crew to defeat. In the Princeton race the varsity did not row as well as it was able to or even as well relatively as it rowed against Cambridge
